Billboard is currently running a series that allows hip-hop and R&B artists to explain why their album is the best of 2018. Earlier this week it was Nipsey Hussle talking about Victory Lap, and now, it’s Dreamville’s own J.I.D breaking down why DiCaprio 2 is on top.
“When I was making this album, it was literally around the time that Mac [Miller] died,” J.I.D said. “In the middle of this shit, I was helping him with his project and then, personal shit had happened. It was actually a hard ass year for me, for real, but it was also one of the most successful, financially lit years I ever had in my life. It sucked because of the personal shit I was going through and on top of the Mac shit, my cousin died, it was just a lot of life shit. Still, I just always knew that my shit was going to be the best.”
